Digital Selvage is an essay newsletter by a technology worker exploring how today's technical decisions, especially around AI assistants, shape people's thinking and behaviour. Issues combine historical anecdotes (such as ELIZA) with explanations of how LLMs are trained and critiques of sycophancy and engagement-optimised design.
